This is the second encounter for rally legend Walter Röhrl and the Porsche Taycan. Shortly before climbing in, he seemed to be about as tense as the engineers assigned to monitor the test ride – but that changed very quickly. The Newsroom brings you an exclusive test drive.
His first ride in the new Taycan was a few months ago. Even on just a short lap the car still left its mark, both on the development team to which he belonged at the time, and on Walter Röhrl himself: “It’s a very exciting time because technology is moving forward at an incredible rate. I’m anxious to see what the car can do compared with last time.”
The black-camouflaged Taycan almost disappeared from view, just moments after the convoy left the main gate of the Porsche development centre in Weissach; the camera team’s Cayenne lost the struggle to keep pace as it immediately became clear that Walter meant business. He wanted to test the vehicle to the limit.
A few kilometres later we caught up with him at a car park in the woods, where he had stopped to wait for us. The look on his face spoke volumes.
What was your first impression?
“It’s crazy. In all my years of rallying, I’ve never experienced such performance. The Taycan goes so well at such speed, really tremendous”.
How does the Porsche Taycan handle?
“I’m surprised because you barely notice the weight any more. The engineers have done a great job on the tuning and have made excellent use of the low centre of gravity. The steering and even the brakes handle superbly”.

The Porsche Taycan might be one of the most anticipated EVs of 2019 - but we still don\'t know a lot about it. This car was first unveiled back in 2015 as a concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. At that time it was known as the Mission E - but recently its name was changed to the Porsche Taycan (Tie-con) and yes, that’s how you say it.
So here’s what we know about this car so far -
0-60 acceleration in under 3.5 seconds
Top speed of 155mph
600hp
300 mile range
80% charge in under 15 minutes with DC fast charging
And the price is still up in the air, but according Robert Meier, the Taycan model director, it will be priced “somewhere between a Cayenne and a Panamera” which is around $75,000 -- This puts it in competition with the Model S which starts at $79,000 as of Thursday.
And this is definitely the goal with this car - compete with the luxury EV market that the Model S has completely cornered.
This car definitely has some interesting features as well, with inductive charging sticking out the most. Similarly to putting your smartphone on a wireless charging pad, you will literally be able to pull this car into the garage and have it start charging - without even plugging it in!
This is definitely the next step in vehicle charging - removing the steps necessary to charge your car so you don’t even have to think about it. So I’m glad they have been forward thinking in that regard.
Now moving to the design - just like the initial Model X design, porsche is trying to get rid of the side view mirrors, but they are planning on having a virtual exterior mirrors that will b...

During the Industry Pool at the Nürburgring I have filmed the 2019 Porsche Taycan testing on track.
Porsche’s Taycan, the all-electric 4-door, will be here in 2019 and followed into showrooms by an electric SUV
The all-electric Porsche Taycan won’t be hitting UK roads until 2020 after a reveal in the later stages of 2019.
These vehicles go on to join the intensive test programme ahead of the car’s official debut, which is expected to be at next year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Sales are yet to officially begin but Porsche claims to have received upwards of 10,000 requests from potential Taycan customers.
Our first clear glimpse at the undisguised cars reveals a design that remains true to the original Mission E concept, save for modifications to satisfy typical production requirements.
The four-door saloon format is described as a ‘four plus one’ with space for luggage front and rear, while the driving position is “almost identical to the 911”, according to Robert Meier, Director Complete Vehicle Model Line Taycan.
In the cabin, directly ahead of the driver, is a freestanding curved digital instrument display as seen in the original concept. To the right is a small toggle-style gear selector for Drive, Neutral and Reverse. A large infotainment screen, resembling the 10.1-inch unit used by Audi, sits flush within the vertical gloss finished panel that stretches across the fascia.
A second touchscreen sits in a sloped centre console separating the front seats, making the cabin almost devoid of physical buttons. In the back, a recessed foot well has been made possible by ...

2020 PORSCHE TAYCAN - 600HP Electric Porsche Mission E
In 2015, Mission E was Porsche\'s vision for what - at the time - felt like a far off, all-electric future. Presently, that future is just about multi year away. 2020 Porsche Taycan, the generation name for the Concept, will hit creation before the finish of 2019 and, when it does, it will be Porsche\'s first All-Electric creation auto. (Despite the fact that not, actually, Porsche\'s first electric auto. That respect goes to the P1, which in 1898 was the main auto Ferdinand Porsche at any point fabricated.)
In a design that is currently commonplace to Tesla fans, the New Porsche Taycan will wear a battery pack of \"around\" 90 kilowatt-hours in the floor, with a couple of electric engines giving all-wheel drive. Nonetheless, Porsche will utilize what\'s called \"forever energized synchronous\" engines, which guarantee higher torque for a given size, weight and power utilization.
What amount of torque? Porsche isn\'t stating yet, yet the organization has guaranteed 600 pull, enough to dispatch the four-entryway incubate from 0 to 62 miles for each hour in 3.5 seconds. Indeed, that is a lot slower than a Ludicrous Model S can oversee, however for Porsche, by and large execution will be estimated in different ways.
